WHY CHOOSE US?

At Victor Hospital Diabetes Specialty Centre, our strength lies in a dedicated team of experienced physicians working together to provide complete and comprehensive care for every patient.

We focus not only on medications but also on diabetes education, counselling, nutrition, and lifestyle modifications as core pillars of treatment. Since diabetes and its complications are often silent, our emphasis is on early detection and prevention.

Victor Hospital is proud to be Goa’s first comprehensive Diabetes Centre, combining medical expertise with physiotherapy, yoga, weight management, and patient education to help control — and in some cases, reverse Type 2 Diabetes.

OUR SPECIALIZATION

We treat all forms of diabetes, including:

• Type 1 Diabetes
• Type 2 Diabetes
• Gestational Diabetes
• Rare forms of diabetes

Our use of advanced diabetes technology — such as Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) and Insulin Pump Therapy — ensures precise monitoring and effective management, especially for Type 1 diabetes.

Our Diabetes Counsellor works closely with patients to monitor blood sugar levels and teach the correct insulin injection technique, improving glucose control.
